Task Response

The report effectively addresses the task by providing an overview and comparing the data across the two years. The main features are identified, and comparisons are made. However, there are some inaccuracies in the specific data values (e.g., Armenia at 65% instead of 73%, Bangladesh at 62% instead of 58%, etc.), and the report omits some details, such as the exact figures for Egypt and Lebanon in 2000. To improve, ensure that all data points are accurately reported and that the overview clearly highlights the most significant trends, such as the overall decline in smoking rates across all countries.

Coherence & Cohesion

The report is well-organized with a clear overall structure, including an introduction, overview, and detailed paragraphs for each time period. The use of cohesive devices is generally effective, and the progression of ideas is logical. To improve, ensure that the overview clearly highlights the most significant trends and that comparisons are consistently made across all data points. Minor lapses in cohesion, such as the slightly abrupt transition between the two main paragraphs, could be smoothed out.

Lexical Resource

The report demonstrates a good range of vocabulary appropriate for the task, with effective use of synonyms and paraphrasing (e.g., 'illustrates', 'recorded', 'represented', 'stood at'). There is evidence of natural and sophisticated control of lexical features. To reach a higher band, consider using more precise and varied language to describe changes and comparisons, and ensure that all terms are used accurately (e.g., 'share' vs. 'percentage').

Grammatical Range & Accuracy

The report uses a variety of sentence structures, including complex sentences, and generally maintains good grammatical control. However, there are a few grammatical errors and phrasing issues that affect clarity, such as 'in years 2000 and 2015' (should be 'in the years 2000 and 2015') and 'Armenia recorded the largest, whereas Australia had the smallest, in 2000' (missing noun after 'largest' and 'smallest'). Additionally, some sentences could be more concise and precise. To improve, focus on eliminating these minor errors and ensuring that all structures are used with full flexibility and accuracy.
